Well Greg, don't be surprise at all if it seems rather anticlimatical after the 24 - 48 hr wait!! After my first infusion I told everyone not to call me because I might be so out-of-it, I would hopefully just sleep it off! Well lo and behold...I felt....literally....hardly a dent!! Isn't that funny!! Nowadays the meds for the side effects are great!!
Anyways, can't speak for all the others, but for me you don't have to feel sad or bad. Physically, it took its toll, but I was able to ride it out and all is fine. Spiritually it gave me a lot of personal growth and rewards. I am sure it will be for you two too!
